BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Multifamily Residential land use because there is Mixed Use land use directly to the north. Multifamily residential land use will serve as a buffer between the mixed-use land use to the north and the single family land use to the south. The property is also located less than 600 feet south of East MLK Junior Blvd, which is an activity corridor as identified on the imagined Austin Comprehensive Plan where additional density can be accommodated. The property owner is proposing approximately 45 mixed residential dwelling units, which will provide additional housing choices for the city and the planning area. Below are sections of the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan that supports the applicant’s request: 2 2 of 2705 NPA-2023-0015.05.SH - 1702 Deloney Street; District 12 of 27 Planning Commission: March 26, 2024 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Single family - Single family detached or up to three residential uses at typical urban and/or suburban densities. Purpose 1. Preserve the land use pattern and future viability of existing neighborhoods; 2. Encourage new infill development that continues existing neighborhood patterns of development; and 3. Protect residential neighborhoods from incompatible business or industry and the loss of existing housing. Application 1. Existing single‐family areas should generally be designated as single family to preserve established neighborhoods; and 2.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2023-0141.SH DISTRICT: 1 ADDRESS: 1702 Deloney Street ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP TO: MF-2-NP SITE AREA: approximately 2.027 acres (approximately 88,296 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: 1702 Deloney, LLC AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Leah M. Bojo) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting multifamily residence-low density-neighborhood plan (MF- 2-NP) combining district zoning. See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 26, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract currently has one vacant single-family home built in approximately 1952, of approximately 1,300 square feet. This represents a density of approximately 0.5 units per acre. To the north is undeveloped land, a church built in approximately 1970 of approximately 7,000 square feet, and a single-family home built in approximately 1953, of approximately 1,200 square feet. To the west is undeveloped land, and a triplex built in approximately 1977, of approximately 4,000 square feet. To the south is undeveloped land, one single-family home built in approximately 1952, of approximately 1,200 square feet. To the east are two single-family homes (under construction) and a duplex built in approximately 2004. While there is floodplain and a creek buffer within the subject tract it does not encumber enough of the tract that it is unable to be developed as requested by this rezoning. Further analysis will be conducted during the subsequent site plan review process. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should promote clearly-identified community goals, such as creating employment opportunities or providing for affordable housing. 1 of 1106 C14-2023-0141.SH - 1702 Deloney Street; District 1 C14-2023-0141.SH 2 This rezoning would allow for the development of more diverse housing options and promote a range of price points based on diverse household needs. Neighborhood scale multifamily residential zoning is a critical part of reaching the community goal to create more “missing middle” housing. Granting multifamily residence-low density-neighborhood plan (MF-2-NP) combining district zoning here can provide lower density multifamily in a way that is consistent with the surrounding land uses. The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council or Planning Commission. Both Council and Planning Commission have adopted policies and principles to increase new residential development, specifically along Imagine Austin Corridors, where major public transportation assets exist and/or will be …

March 26, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: April 4, 2024: Case is tentatively scheduled to be heard by City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract of approximately 9.606 acres of undeveloped land. To the north is additional undeveloped land (across Southwest Parkway). To the south, east and west are single- family residences. This case seeks to add multifamily residential use as a permitted use of the property and establish a maximum impervious cover of 55% and 1:1 floor to area ratio for multifamily residential use. In exchange for the proposed modifications the project will: 1. Provide water quality controls in accordance with the Save Our Springs Initiative 1 of 669 C14-85-288.166(RCA2) 2 2. Achieve a minimum one-star rating under the Austin Energy Green Building Program 3. Restrict access to Sunset Ridge 4. Provide a minimum of four EV charging stations 5. Remove invasive species in accordance with the City of Austin Invasive Species Management Plan BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. Austin currently has a housing shortage and an affordable housing shortage. Restricting the use of this property to prohibit multifamily residential use is unreasonable in light of this situation. The applicant has proposed modifications that address environmental quality, sustainability, transportation access, and removal of invasive species.
